Hey Everyone,
So got a call today about a large land survey and had a question for you guys. Has anyone ever done a land survey with the XSP? I've done them for fun mostly and to make sure I could actually do it using one of the mapping services out there. He's wanting 1200 acres done and while I know that it would be easier/quicker with a fixed wing drone, I'm wondering what the biggest piece of land someone's done with a quad. Not sure if that would be feasible with the XSP. I have 6 batteries and I figure if I fly over at 100ft, I'm hoping that's plenty of battery but not sure. It would be a 4-5 hour drive for me so unless I want to drive back, which I don't, I'd have to try and get it all in one go. Maybe I can buy a few more batteries to ensure I have enough. Anyone have any advice or tips for something this large? I did 3 acres a few months back. I wish we had something like the DJI has in terms of software where I can draw a box, tell it the overlap and let it do it's thing instead of having to fly it manually and potentially get a gap somewhere. It was a survey company that called me so I'm assuming that they will be providing all GCPs, well I hope at least.
Thanks in advance.
